This Pumpkin White Russian is a creamy, spiced fall cocktail that combines vodka, coffee liqueur, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice for a cozy, dessert-like drink. It’s quick to make, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for any autumn occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
  • 1 tablespoon pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half, or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, or honey/simple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes
  • For garnish: whipped cream (dairy or non-dairy), ground cinnamon or nutmeg, cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and slightly thickened (about 30 seconds).
  2. Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes.
  3. Pour vodka and coffee liqueur over the ice and gently stir to combine.
  4. Slowly pour the pumpkin cream mixture over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the spirits, creating a layered effect.
  5. Top with whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick if desired.
  6. Serve immediately. Stir gently before sipping to blend the flavors.

Notes

For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer and use non-dairy whipped cream. Adjust sweetness by varying the maple syrup. Chill your glass for a colder drink and pour the pumpkin cream slowly for a beautiful layered look. The pumpkin cream can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
